Global Surgery Student Alliance

About Us

At the very core, global surgery is "a field that  aims to improve health and health equity for  all who are affected by surgical conditions or  have a need for surgical care, with a  particular focus on underserved populations  in countries of all income levels, as well as  populations in crisis, such as those  experiencing conflict, displacement, and  disaster.” Important to this effort is all  aspects of surgery, including anesthesia,  OB/GYN, and nursing.

Whether you are interested in surgery/anesthesia/OBGYN, public health,  economics, finance, policy, engineering, education, statistics, or any combination of these, you have a very significant contribution to make to this growing field. And no matter how little or how much you can contribute, your involvement in global surgery is incredibly necessary and valuable.
